Dreadnought

We are in need of gamers. If you like space ships get in here boii.

Good game but really needs more players. If you're put out due to this and some other negative comments then don't worry, I'll give any prospective players a nice guide here.
The game has 3 brackets for the 5 tiers of ships.
Tiers 1 and 2 get put into the recruit bracket. Most of the people here will be bots with the occasional player making their way through it. The ships are limited to very few modules and you get few ships to play around.
Tiers 2 and 3 get put into the veteran bracket. Here's where the fun's at, most people play here and I assure you. You'll have a blast.
Tiers 4 and 5 go to Legendary. This is where everyone with a fully upgraded and stocked wallet go at.
Getting to tier 3 is easy and fully upgrading a T3 ship( provided you only play that ship) can be done in a week. Paying players do not get special modules just for them but they do get some nice ships who while they look epic, are not really that much different compared to the free ships.
There are multiple classes and I'll list them all with all the pros and cons(please do note there are subclasses for ships as well and they become relevant at tier 3)
Dreadnought: Big, fat and can throw a mean punch and take several more in return. They're the tanks and are expected to soak up damage but they have limited damage and fire slowly, they move slow to boot too.. Most of your kills will be done with modules and you'll be the first target.
Destroyer: Big and hits like a freight train but can't quite take as many as the dreadnought. Destroyers are jacks of all trades, their modules requiring specialization in order to be truly useful as they get a large selection of them. Destroyers are versatile and are capable of doing a little bit of all but if you want them to do good, you'll have to truly think about what modules you'll pick.
Artillery cruiser: Artillery cruisers are the class of ships I'm most familiar with so I'll even be able to provide commentary on the sub-classes too. Artillery cruisers as a rule have the largest damage and the largest range but the details change depending on the subclass.
-Light They are fast and agile but have low range, they also fire faster than the other subclasses but they're really fragile.
-Medium: Lowest damage of the bunch( one of their shots hits more than the light artillery cruisers but they fire much slower). They're a good mix of speed and damage for the class and can be quite stealthy, allowing them to hit enemies from far away when they don't even know they're being watched.
-Heavy: Nobody accused a heavy Artillery cruiser of being stealthy, or fast, or agile, but by god they can really hit. In two or three hits, most things that aren't a dreadnought under the tender care of healers will die provided they're of the same tier. Don't expect them to take a lot of hits though, as while they have more HP than the light and medium subclasses they still don't have a lot of it.
Tactical Cruiser: They're healers, not much to talk about really. They have a secondary weapon and they can specialize into healing or boosting their allies attack. They're the support basically and everyone else must defend them, A very good support is worth all the troubles you have to get into in order to look after them. Ideally a team should have two of them.
Corvette: The artists of pain, the daredevils, the bane of campers and the most annoying class of the entire game. The corvette is a small and nimble fighter that can hit above it's weight several times over but it's range is tiny when compared to the other classes but thankfully the little buggers are fast. You want to feel the adrenaline pumping in the entire game then they're the class for you.

I'm all for niche sci-fi games. This isn't quite a simulation and is more of an arcade-like experience
Game isn't perfect, but it has cool ship designs, and the framework of a good game is there.
I was late to the party, perhaps changes back in the day drove away the bulk of its player base. However it's not as bad as people make it out to be, and without people, there won't be a reason for it to improve.
I'd hate to see such a game with a fun concept die.

Pro's:
-This is a really fun, action packed and good game.
-Graphics are amazing
-Diverse gameplay and specific roles that can be tweaked into your liking
-Gameplay is pretty straight forward and even though there are only 5 tiers of ships divided into 5 Classes, there are TONS of upgrades and possibilities to customize.
-Lot's of gamemodes that keeps it all fresh
Con's
-A small player base. EU primetime it can take up to 4-10 min to get into a game.
-AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: Hangar interface is absolutely horrible. Cluttered, oversized text and icons, pushy microtransactions in lower right corner and a menu system that you'll never get used to.
If they could scale it all down and make the menues less intrusive I'm sure it could be a quick fix. I would personally rather look at my awesome Dreadnought than some poorly designed interface that takes up all of the screen.
Conclusion:
I have played this game more than the 4 hours it says here, back in the days before they went on Steam.
It's great fun to be back and I know I'll be playing a couple of days over the summer.
The game is free to play but if they can't pull more players into the game I don't think I'll throw any money after gametime. But still great fun.
And for the love of GOD! Fix that hangar interface...

Lots of potential, but hurt by its small playerbase. Any new player helps greatly!

played since Alpha its a good game yes content is slow but its free come and play!

I came into this game really late, and I know I only have a few hours in but I gotta say.....
I really enjoy the dynamics of this game. Even when I'm losing, I am still having fun.
For those who are curious, this like putting World of Warships/Tanks/Warthunder's basic f2p structure but making it about huge, angry, and powerful capital ships with "abilities." You research your ships tech as you grind XP on it, then purchase the tech. Each major purchase makes you one step closer to your next tier ship of its make and class.
There are fast corvettes, there are heavy tanks of ships, and a little bit in-between. The variety of ships is limited, and it seems the devs love making hero ships instead of expanding their main fleet. The game play is a bit slow, as you chug through the air/space/atmosphere, but as you learn your ship you will get better every game.
The abilities add some flair. It can be extra armor, a missile salvo, and WMD's. It is a fun way to play this style of game.
The player base is dying, you don't often find a full player match. The game will insert bots where it can, and they're not....horrible. There are times when they act dumb, but mostly it balances out to me. Especially in the lower tiers where less players are. I feel like this helps new players enjoy and learn the game.
As you move to the Veteran tiers, you will find more players. They dont seem mean, and they really know how to play tactically. And in turn, they've sucked me in.
I hope this game can survive, and grow again. The gameplay alone makes it worth it. While I wouldn't advise giving this game money with the smaller player base (and you never know how long a f2p can last in this state), we should do what we can to keep it alive. Draw more players in, and get development going again.... then spend money on it.
Overall, even when I'm getting my cheeks slapped, I like it.
